(Raymond’s POV)

“Here’s the last set of documents, sir,” my assistant said, placing the file on my desk.

I let out a deep breath of relief. Finally, the last one. I had been at it for hours, reviewing and signing urgent documents nonstop. Because of that, I couldn’t pick Patricia up from work today.

I hadn’t been able to stop thinking about her all day. Ever since she replied to my text, my mind had been restless. It was the first time she’d responded, and somehow, it made me feel like we were slowly getting closer.

A small smile spread across my face as I remembered her message: “Alright, Raymond. I’ll see you at home.”

Home... The word alone made my heart jump a little. The thought that I’d see her when I got home made me feel alive. Living with her now and seeing her face every day, was something I never realized I needed so much.

I tried to focus on work again, but it was useless. My mind had already gone home ahead of me.

As soon as I signed the last paper, I stood up, grabbed my

    (Patricia’s POV)“Do you like it?” I asked, curious, my heart pounding with nervous excitement.“I love it,” Raymond said, his eyes shining as he looked at the wristwatch I had just given him. “This is exactly my style.”I smiled warmly, relieved that he loved it. Raymond was finally home. He had arrived two hours ago, and I couldn’t be happier. It wasn’t just me... Julie was overjoyed as well.We had dinner together, just like a happy family, and afterward we went upstairs. Now we were in his bedroom, technically our bedroom now, since I couldn’t even remember the last time I slept in mine.“Thank you for this special gift,” Raymond said softly.“You’re welcome,” I whispered.He carefully placed the watch back into its box and set it on the vanity. Then he stepped closer and wrapped his arms around my waist.“I’m so happy to be home. I missed you so much,” he said quietly.I chuckled and rested my arms on his shoulders. “I missed you too, honey.”Missing him was an understatement. Th

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 115: No Money, No Heir

    (Mason’s POV)"If you truly believed your weak and useless sperm could father a child, then you must be delusional.” she added.My stomach dropped when I heard that. How… how did she know? No one else knew about this. I had kept the truth hidden from Patricia... and even from my own family for years.“Don’t say stupid things,” I said through clenched teeth, trying to deny it completely.“Stupid things?” she scoffed. “You may have hidden the original result from Patricia, but you didn’t hide it from me, Mason.”“I saw everything,” she added.I swallowed hard, my chest tightening. I remembered that day clearly. The doctor had told me my sperm was weak, but it could improve. With proper treatment and diet, I could still father a child.I was too embarrassed to let anyone know, not even Patricia. So I threw away the real result and replaced it with a fake one. That fake result was what I showed Patricia.But Rose had seen the original result. She was our housemaid at the time. Could it be

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 114: The Truth About Liam

    (Mason’s POV)My phone kept ringing, and I had no choice but to switch it off. Nothing made sense anymore. My life had been a complete mess ever since Patricia left me.It had been one problem after another. We lost the company and all our family investments. I even lost Patricia’s trust. Was this what people called karma? If so, then it came too early.“Thank you for coming back to me, my love,” I heard someone say behind me. “I thought you had fallen in love with that man.”“I told you, baby, you’re the only one I’ve ever loved,” a familiar female voice replied. “I was only with him because of money.”I blinked in surprise. That voice sounded exactly like Rose’s. But it couldn’t be her. She had moved into the apartment I got for her and Liam, and that place was over an hour away. There was no way she could be here this late at night.“Now I can finally be with my son,” the man said, his voice filled with excitement.“And honestly, our son deserves to be with his real father,” the wo

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 113: Everything Fell Apart

    (Mason’s POV)“Sir, are you sure you want some more?” the bar attendant asked, her voice unsure.“Put it there and stop asking stupid questions!” I snapped, my voice exploding like a gunshot.I had been drinking at the bar for hours. I couldn’t even tell how many shots I had taken, but none of them dulled what I was feeling inside. I came here hoping the alcohol would make me feel better... but it didn’t.Earlier today, right after I left Patricia’s office, I went home to rest. After a while, my family arrived, smiling and full of excitement, expecting good news.But everything changed the moment I handed Dad our copy of the document.“What the hell is this, Mason? This isn’t the right document!” I could still hear my father’s voice crashing down on me.“What do you mean it’s not the document?” I asked, confused.“My God… someone please wake me up from this nightmare,” my father said, his voice breaking. “Please tell me this isn’t happening.”His hands shook as the papers slipped from

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 112: Playing Along

    (Patricia’s POV)My eyes felt heavy as I slowly opened them. For a moment, I was confused about where I was, until I realized I was in the private lounge in my office.“Madam?” James called as he hurried toward me.I sighed and tried to sit up, but a sharp headache hit me. I winced and clutched my head, hoping it would ease the spinning pain.“Please stay still, ma’am. I’ll get you some water,” James said gently, stopping me from moving.He rushed off and returned with a glass of water. Then he helped me sit properly on the sofa bed. My hands trembled as I held the glass and swallowed the warm liquid.“How do you feel now, ma’am?” he asked, worry clear in his voice.“My head… it hurts,” I murmured softly.“Yes,” he said quietly. “The doctor said you might have a headache, but it will go away after proper rest.”I sighed and placed the empty glass on the table beside me. That headache had to be a side effect of whatever Mason put in my drink.Speaking of Mason, a thought hit me... I bl

  • The Forsaken Wife's Empire   Chapter 111: Signed Under Sleep

    (Mason’s POV)“Now we’ll see what game this is all about,” Patricia said as she handed the coffee cup back to me.“What… do you mean?” I swallowed hard. “What game are you talking about?”She only smirked and walked back to her seat. I moved closer to her, my heart pounding hard in my chest. She had just finished the coffee, and very soon, the drug would take effect.But why did she think I had a hidden agenda? If she suspected I had drugged her drink, why did she still take it? Could it be that she already knew my plan and was only playing along?No… that didn’t make sense. How could she know? No one saw me put anything in the coffee. I had even made sure to step away from the CCTV camera. It didn’t capture me either. So how could she possibly know? Maybe she was just playing with words.“Pat… there’s no such thing,” I said, denying it completely. “I’m not playing any game.”She didn’t respond. She didn’t even look up at me. She stayed focused on her phone, typing calmly. I wondered
